Frequently Asked Questions
What does Parivas mean?
What does Parivas mean?
Parivas comes from the Latin phrase Pario E Pulvas, meaning "Created from Dust", a tribute to both our origin and our process.
What makes a 3D printed watch different from a traditionally manufactured watch?
3D printing allows for highly complex, innovative case designs that are not possible with traditional machining. It also enables rapid prototyping, customization, and efficient production, enabling both maximum creativity and producibility.
What materials are used in your 3D printed watch cases?
Our cases are printed in 316L stainless steel. The same material found in the majority of luxury watch cases. This is a marine grade material rated for the most rigorous environments.
Is a 3D printed watch as durable as a traditional luxury watch?
Yes. Our 3D printed cases are engineered for strength and longevity, and undergo rigorous testing and quality control to ensure they meet the high standards expected in luxury watchmaking.
Are the movements also 3D printed?
No. Our watches feature premium, traditional hand-assembled movements from Switzerland renowned for their accuracy, reliability, and craftsmanship. The 3D printing process is used for the case and select external components, blending American innovation with Swiss horological heritage.
How do I clean out dirt or sand that gets into the open cavities of the case?
Every watch comes with a micro wire brush that can easily remove any debris or build up. Never feel dissuaded from wearing your Parivas on account of dirt.
Can I customize my watch?
Yes. 3D printing makes it possible to offer bespoke or limited-edition designs, allowing for unique engravings, finishes, or even custom case shapes in future releases.
How does the weight and feel compare to traditional watches?
3D printed cases can be engineered for optimal weight and ergonomics, resulting in a comfortable fit on the wrist without compromising on luxury or durability.
What is the warranty and service process for a Parivas watch?
Our watches come with a comprehensive warranty and can be serviced by skilled watchmakers. 3D printing also allows for easier replacement of certain case components if needed.
